Scripted Campaigns revival


Recommended Posts

Hello , gentlemen!

During the past years, many scripted campaigs were made, with great effort and dedication, and the results were, quite often, worthy of that endeavour.

What was often achieved was an incredibly immersive experience, surpassing other playing modes.

This legacy is to be continued, but also the old ones deserve to be kept alive, for replaying, but also to be enjoyed by newer virtual pilots.

I have collected this gems along the years, but it has to be their creators those who repost them here.

That is why I urge those gifted and generous people, who spent countless hours building adventures from the old times of WW2, to post their work again here, on the new frontier of the most immersive ww2 sim so far.

Thank you Jaegermeister for starting this job by reposting your wonderful adventures (scripted campaigs).

I kindly and hearty ask Sandmarken, Vendigo, Juri_JS, BlackSix, Jade_Monkey, Utopioneer, The Syndicate, IckyATLAS, Samson, Saldy, AEthelraedUnraed, Gambit21, [DBS]Tx_Tip, Veteranen, NETSCAPE, Walter_Nowotny, CzechTexan, DF_Lion, SARFlytitus and many others to repost their work again in Scripted Campains section.

And let the new missios come!

Thank you!

Thanks for the input @AndreiTomescu

I agree with your thoughts on reposting scripted campaign threads and I am sure some others will do that here. There are others that have done some nice campaigns in the past and are no longer maintaining or updating them. I was tasked with updating some of those campaigns a couple of years back, and I may post new threads regarding those here.

I will probably also create new threads regarding Flying Circus campaigns that do not have a separate area in this new forum, but are still relevant.

People who make content (for free) can also consider licensing it under a Creative Commons license to reduce the chance that the content gets lost.

For example, the CC BY-NC 4.0 license requires attribution, so people can't pass your work off as their own, but people can share it, so even if the maker is no longer around, people can keep sharing the content. So if the forum/dropbox/etc disappears where you uploaded it, people who already downloaded it, can upload it again somewhere. And people can resave the mission, fix bugs or otherwise build on what you made, again with attribution. However, people cannot sell the content under that license.

To license it this way, you can add a text file with a link to the license to your content, or add a copyright notice to the forum post where you share it, like so:

© 2025. This work is openly licensed via CC BY-NC 4.0

hmm.  That's a lot of reposting!

The old forum will still be available, correct?

It would be beneficial to make a Link to direct members and especially new members to the old forum campaigns.

I will slowly migrate my campaigns to this new forum and some of them need to be updated anyway.

Yeah, the old forum will remain as read only. But there is indeed no rush.

Copy paste the text from your old post into a new one and add a link. It only takes a couple of minutes. You don't have to redo anything. If you have a download link in the original post, it carries over and you don't even need the link to the old post. Any screenshots or images you may have also copy over so you don't have to upload them again.

I just made a post for my Kerch-Eltigen campaign. I will post my other campaigns in the coming days.
